Dickens as an Actor.

Carlyle referred 70 Dickens as an
actor, having seen him in one of his
amateur performances. He gave it us
his opinion that Dickens genus was
essentially histronic and mimctic; that
with his faculty of keen and minute OBJ
seryation, his general alertness of mind
and body, his mobile power of gesture
and expression, he had all the requi-
sites of successful actor, and that had
he lived at a great period of the drama,
in the Elizabethan age, for instance,
his genius would have found its appro-
pirate outlet on the stage. He would
have become popular comic actor,
writing humorous piece now and then,
perhaps, rs was the custom of such
actors in those days. But while living
under different conditions and WORKING
with his pen, his books still retained
and revealed the native genius of their
author. They had the sustained, if
rather jerky, liveliness, the pleasant
tricks and mannerisms of humorous
portraiture upon the stage. He was, in
short. born actor .ikhenGum.

SUMMER STUDY IN The WOODS.

The rise and growth OF the summer

qua assembly" of 1874 has sprung a
numerous and vigorous family. In this
country alone there are in existence
thirty-hvc of these assemblies, extend.
ing from Maine TO California, and from
Iowa to Florida. The Chautauqua Lit
crary and Scientific Circle, which is also
nm outgrowth of the first assembly, has
membership running we'll up into
the thousands and extends to Africa,
Japan, Russia, India, the Sandwich ISL
nnds, Canada, Mexico, China, Bulgaria,
Syria, Persia, France, England, Scot
land and Ireland. just at present the
movement is making prodigious strides
in the British Isles, under the able dircc.
ton of Dir. j. II. Vincent. the well.

First Mention of Ice.cream.

The first mention of ice-cream that
is found in our history is in the account
of the festivities following Washing
tons first Inauguration as President,
in the city of New York, in 1889. Among
the ices used on that occasion was ice
cream, which is said to have been pre-.
pared, or at least suggested, by Dolly
Adams, then the brightest star in social
and diplomatic circles. The new con-
feciion made quite II sensation at the
time, and probably helped to in ;rease

The Reno Reduction Works.
The News Reporter reiterates its
charge against the Reno Reduction
Works:
THE Reno Journal takes offense
at our remarks concerning the Reno
Reduction Works, and seems to
think we are doing them an iLjus
tice. We said in the article 90
jected to, that the Reno Reduction
Works had failed to give satisfac
ton In the matter of returns. to
mine owners In this part of the
State. We have again interviewed
the complaining parties, and they
persist in saying that they we're not
given fair deal by the Reno Com
pany. 1t is not our desire to mis-
represent the Reno Reduction
Works; neither is it to our inter
ests to do so. We Of this section
of the country have large quaint
ties of ore to reduce, and Reno is
the place where they can be most
proftably reduced. While the
Reno works do not entirely depend
on this region for support, our
miners are In a large degree de-
pendent on them. We do not want
to think that the managers of the
Reno works are taking advantage
Of that fact to impose upon our ore
producers, but it certainly looks
that way.

a BIG Mistake.

There was big mistake made at
the banquet given To the old Pho
neers by the Legislature. The Com
mittee of arrangements did exceed
iusly well. but they made one fatal
blunder, which the old nion GERS
have had good cause to feel aggricv
ed over ever since. The speaking
was all down to programme, and
the Old Boys had to sit back and
take it all in, but take no part in it.
There should have been one more
paragraph on the programme to
have read about as follows:
After the regular toasts there
will be speaking. songs and stories
ad lib. by ..old pioneers only"
This would have given zest to
the banquet which it lacked. There
were scores of old boys like Alf.
Doten, Bob Patterson, Storra, Ad-
kinson, Overton, McGowan and
dozens of others, whose names can
not be for the moment recalled,
who could have talked spun yarns
and sung the old songs of 40, They
could have set the table in a roar
and kept it roaring until the sun
rose In the East.
This was the oversight that cut
the banquet off at midnight and
sent everybody home with the feel
ing that things had not been just
as they should have been.
